Be a leader with a
sound mind all the time.
It is not for kings, O
Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink
Proverbs 31:4
As a leader, the responsibility of a lot of people's lives
is in your hands. Your mind has to be sound to handle their matters and
everything that concerns them. It is, therefore, mandatory that you keep
yourself away from everything that will make you unstable and unconscious as a
leader.
7 For God hath not
given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
2 Timothy 1:7 King
James Version (KJV)
Your people are your number one priority. Do not let
anything cloud your judgment, for anything can come up with anything. Moreover,
your specific judgment and recommendation will be needed and will be followed
to detail. It will not be good in any way, whereby the advice or judgment you
give at that particular time is false or wrong, and people think it’s right,
not knowing alcohol influenced your decisions...
29 Who hath woe? who hath
sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause?
who hath redness of eyes? 30 They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to
seek mixed wine. 31 Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth
his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright. 32 At the last it biteth
like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.33 Thine eyes shall behold strange
women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things.
Proverbs 23:29-33
As a leader, there are times you will feel you're under a
lot of tension, in which you need something to take off the pressure. Don't
take alcohol or any other thing, for it takes the place of GOD...
All our burdens are meant to be cast onto JESUS. Deal with
the issues in your life by telling HIM what is bothering you. Do not just sweep
your problems under the rug and pretend they do not exist. Be a leader that
does not run away from issues. Face them, and GOD will give you the Grace to be
victorious over each one of them.
If you don't want alcoholics as your people, as a leader,
shun away from alcohol as well...
7 Casting all your
care upon him; for he careth for you.
